Reception
[edit]A review in IGN by Spence D. stated, "The sound of SN is a wonderful crossbreed of lo-fi prog, basement bred ambient, and clattering noise." The review concludes that the album is "a good introduction to the music of Ehrbar and Parker and a solid starting point for those willing to discover their subsequent output under the monikers Varnaline and Reservoir."[1]
An Orlando Weekly review felt that, due to alleged disarray at the band's former label Zero Hour Records, "it's up to the fine folks at Eenie Meenie...to rescue these bits of cracked, self-indulgent indie introspection from obscurity," and praised the album for collecting "the highlights of the group's albums and singles...as well as some mind-bending live material."[2]
